Nostalgia Cannonball final
Tobba Jansson 6.4370/196.19 def. Robbie Grabham 11.1190/88.74
Cannonball up to this point, now heads-up for the event title. Tobba away first 0.1652 to 0.2028,
1.0292 to sixty for Tobba, Robbie in 1.1186 then problems, starting to pedal and getting off it.
Tobba long gone by the eighth, 4.0831/179.56 then haze from the motor and smoke from one side.
Nostalgia Funny Car exhibition
Paul Harris 7.6638/194.41 bye
Paul rolled the beams very slightly before hitting it. Thickening smoke from the right bank past 1000 feet then the
car briefly obscured by smoke in the shutdown area. Track checked and all OK.
Erik Wallinder 6.8527/203.33. bye
Second time of asking for Erik, motor sounded as if it were running on petrol first time. Aggressive red-misty
burnout which is understandable I'd say. 1.1534 to sixty with a lot of clutch dust, absolutely straight to the
eighth 4.4934/168.52 and on the gas all the way.
Matt Wright no time bye
Second time of asking for Matt too, at the first attempt the motor stopped after the burnout. Staged and then
went before the Tree went, to pile Pelion upon Ossa when the Matt pulled the chute it came off the car and
fell to the track in the traps. Got it stopped OK though.
17:05
Outlaw Anglia eliminations round 4
A lot of smoke from Ronnie Mercer's motor in the shutdown area, track checked and all OK.

The NSA are running in exhibition; this is who ran what rather than formal qualifying.
Fantastic runs for Jan Honee and Tim Blakemore but then drama as legend John Hobbs' Olympus
made a move left then slid out from under him. Chris Illman in the other lane had to take avoiding
action. Hobbsy was straight back up on his feet, medical crew checked him out.

Supercharged Outlaws qualifying session 4
The Supercharged Outlaws handle their own qualifying; this is who did what in this session.
Single lane running initially, whilst the Energy Check lane was scraped to sixty feet. Smoke then a flash of
flame from the motor of Eurodragster.com sponsor Andy Fadster's roadster, track checked and all OK, hopefully
nothing serious. Kirsten van Croonenborgh now in the seat of Paul Watts' No Easy Pick-Up. Took a good look
at the centre line most of the way down but had a hold of it. ian Merryweather into the sevens, well done
Ian and team!

Slingshot Showdown eliminations round 1
Bob Hawkins no time, Sam Freeman no time
Drama in this race as Sam's motor started to spray fluid at the eighth, the dragster moved left then went into a flat spin,
a couple of spins then into Bob's lane. Meanwhile Bob whose dragster had been drifting right had backked out of it and
Sam's dragster bumped into the back of Bob's car, continued its flat spin and spun round to hit Bob's dragster again.
Cars tangled then Sam's car went up on its side and stopped just past the finish line still on its side. Bob's car went across
into the right lane and ended up nestled alongside the guardrail. Safety crews moved instantly and were very quickly with Sam
and Bob. Both extricated from their cars after checks by the medical teams, word quickly came back that both were walking and
talking.
Joe Bond 6.5567/207.05 def. Christian Frei 8.0360/165.45
Christian away first 0.1502 to 0.1648, rapid 1.0944 sixty for Joe to Christian's 1.2136. Joe's slingshot gently swaying
left and right but he probably didn't even notice, visible lead at the eighth 4.3064/173.36 to Christian's 5.1320/137.28.
Joe off the gas and chutes out a touch early.

Good morning and welcome to our coverage of Dragstalgia brought to you in association with John
Woolfe Racing.
We had rain in the small hours, that particular weather system is gone, right now we have light drizzle.
The plan for today is for real-time reports and results on the organised classes, pit notes courtesy of Simon, and end-day galleries
courtesy of Kirstie, Julian and Diana. No webcast from us this weekend; Santa Pod Raceway are streaming free Web TV on YouTube and Facebook
and you can check out the links via the Event Index.
The traditional Raceday Side-By-Side Time Trials Day greetings to our US Correspondent Kathy Hileman who is tuned
in from NH, hope your weekend is going OK Kathy. A big Good Morning also to the Eurodragsterholics, especially Ivar Kolberg
in Norway, Kai Plathan and the faithful Otto in Vehkataipale, Finland, Benni Voss in Germany, and Bob Roberts here in the UK.
Stay tuned and we will keep you apprised. In the meantime you could do worse than to check out yesterday's gallery,
whch is the largest we have ever posted; I know that large galleries can be a bit unwieldy but so much happened yesterday,
and Kirstie and Julian produced so many quality pictures between them, that to publish a smaller gallery would have meant
not telling the whole story of the day's events. Simon is currently working on more pit notes for you, which he will post on today's page,
but be sure to check out yesterday's notes. We'll be back.
